HK Highline radio issues

Anyone had similar issues and fixed.
Started with FM (Classic FM is my station of choice) acting up, initially working as normal then usually after some 5 or so minutes developed a deep drone (background) interference. Without switching off tried other frequencies (i've got BBCradio 1, 2, 3, 4 and Classic on preset buttons) and same issue. Switched over to CD player and clear as a bell so not the speakers?
Now I've got another issue with no radio at all on first switch on of ignition (position II) or engine start; switch off and on again and 8 times in 10 it's working normally - until the interference starts!
There are some other gremlins like occasional constant auto searching (just goes round and round) or less frequently, a high pitch interference drowning out everything.
A further odd thing, even with the radio switched off there is often a rhymic 'click' separated by 10-15 seconds coming from the speakers. I'm sure I've even heard it when everything is witched off and the key removed!
Where do I start?
